1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo investigate clinical characteristics of adults with acute acquired comitant esotropia and to evaluate the muscle recession amount needed to achieve a favorable outcome after performing medial rectus muscle recession. STUDY DESIGNS: Retrospective study.

methodsPatients diagnosed with acute acquired comitant esotropia, who underwent medial rectus muscle recession with adjustable suture between 2008 and 2016 were included. Surgical outcomes were classified into motor and sensory. The motor outcomes were evaluated at the 1-year postoperative visit and divided into success (orthotropia or esodeviation ≤ 8 PD) and failure (esodeviation > 8 PD). The successful sensory outcomes were defined as elimination of diplopia in primary gaze. Factors including age, sex, refractive error, deviation angle, and surgical amount were compared between groups.

resultsSixteen subjects were included whose mean (± SD) age at the initial visit was 27.5 ± 11.0 years. Mean preoperative maximum angle of deviation was 27.9 ± 9.3 PD at distance and 28.6 ± 12.0 PD at near. Mean refractive error was -2.55 ± 2.92 D. Twelve of 16 subjects (75%) had successful motor and sensory outcomes. Age, sex, refractive error and deviation angle were not different between the two groups. Both success and failure groups required a greater amount of medial rectus muscle recession than those indicated by the Parks' surgical table, with a 40.6 ± 25.8 % augmentation in the success and 7.9 ± 6.9 % in the failure group (P = .028).

conclusionsTo achieve better surgical outcomes in adults with acute acquired comitant esotropia, targeting postoperative orthotropia by increasing the amount of medial rectus muscle recession is recommended.
